Even the anti-tankers, at this rate, might be willing to admit that it’s just best to lose to secure better lottery odds... especially versus the Raptors. Maybe I’m wrong. But that’s just the type of year it’s been. NETS VS.

Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images Drew Timme was named the G League Player of the Week Tuesday after his big 50-point game over the weekend. It was big for a number of reasons. The G-League is a league where it’s all about development. Sure, it helps to win games and it would be great to be the No 1 team, league champions, but wins don’t matter that much in the “G.” The development of your team’s players of tomorrow does. Despite the Long Island Nets being a long shot to enter the playoffs this weekend, they have had a lot of positives on the team. From Killian Hayes to Kendall Brown ..read more

Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images With 10 games to go, the Nets and Raptors are in a death spiral as they try to get a win or the most draft lottery advantage. From the start of the game all the way to the end, Brooklyn’s energy was just not there Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. En route to a 120-101 win, the combination of Naji Marshall and Brandon Williams (two names you probably didn’t expect to read) absolutely killed the Nets. Anthony Davis, who really shouldn’t have played, did some damage as well in his 27 minutes of action, scoring 12 points and grabbing six rebounds. With g ..read more

Photo by Luther Schlaifer/NBAE via Getty Images The Brooklyn Nets and Long Island Nets both have three games this week and it looks like Dariq Whitehead will play them in Brooklyn. Dariq Whitehead, who has been one of the Long Island Nets best players this season, has once again been recalled by the Brooklyn Nets. Whitehead, who was playing a pivotal role for Long Island in its attempt to get into the G League playoffs, is heading back to the big club to hopefully play some more minutes up there. With this move, it seems like Brooklyn doesn’t see much chance of Long Island winning out to make ..read more

Photo by Reuben Polansky-Shapiro/NBAE via Getty Images The Long island Nets season could end as soon as Saturday but it’s been a success from a marketing perspective. After a rough start, they played before four crowds of 7,000 or more. Back on the night of January 7, the Long Island Nets played the Birmingham Squadron, the Hawks G League affiliate, at Nassau Coliseum. The Nets won, 112-104, but the box score was notable not because Kendall Brown scored 25 points. No, the big number that night was 625, the attendance. It was cold, and it had snowed the night before. Still that was an ugly numb ..read more

Photo by C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images With Brooklyn’s season nearing its most crucial moment — the NBA Draft Lottery — let’s take a look at some prospects playing in March Madness. The Brooklyn Nets are 23-49. There are ten games left to play in the 2024-25 season. It’s prospect time, baby. With the Nets locked in an intense race for the fifth-best lottery odds, currently tied with the corpse of the Philadelphia 76ers (which would present a coin-flip scenario) and two games clear of the Toronto Raptors, any pick from #1 to #10, technically speaking is still in play. The current ..read more

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The word of the week is “evaluation.” Expect to see a lot of players get time on the court as season draws to a merciful end. It’s not just about the NBA Draft, lottery odds, number of picks, etc. this time of year. It’s also about the current roster, which of the young Brooklyn Nets will be around next season ... and beyond. Finding the Next Nets, as Sean Marks put it earlier in the season and as Jordi Fernandez put it after the loss last night to the Dallas Mavericks. “Our main purpose is, like I said, get better and see who is the Next Net, and who is going ..read more

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images It was the first non-competitive game in a while. With this team, let’s just be thankful we’ve made it this far without many more. Tonight’s contest between the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks was exactly as vibrant and colorful as it looked from a visuals perspective. In case you didn’t watch, both teams wore all grey, white, and black uniforms. They also played on a grey court. So yeah, it was nothing special. After Dallas jumped up on Brooklyn 19-8 about halfway through the opening period, Brooklyn’s deficit floated around the 10-15 point margin almost all ..read more

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images A wire-to-wire loss brings us one step closer to the most anticipated part of this season: next season. Another day brings us closer to the end of the season. Perhaps it’s the madness of March in the air, with potential franchise-saviors playing wall-to-wall on national television, as the Brooklyn Nets near their first lottery selection since Derrick Favors, but more likely, this is just a 23-48 season nearing completion. The Dallas Mavericks were nearly guaranteed to hand Brooklyn their 49th loss of the season when the laughingstock of the 2024-25 NBA season ..read more

Photo by Glenn James/NBAE via Getty Images Final stretch! If you think things have been tough in Nets World, look no further than the opponent tonight. The Mavericks have spiraled since trading Luka Doncic — once a playoff team, now totally depleted by injury. There was a point when pundits questioned whether the Mavericks would have enough players to simply play the game. It’s THAT bad. Bad decisions, bad luck. NETS VS.
